Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Are you sure?”
ng Chao frowned slightly. “I have to say, you’ve really disappointed . Mr. Big Buck, I thought that advanced orcs were all made of steel and could last at least ten to twenty minutes!
“By the way, are you really not going to last another three to five minutes?”
“No! No! No!”
Big Buck let out a shrill scream. “Quick, ask a question! I’ll tell you everything! Everything! Ah!”
The last scream ca from the burning flas on his left leg, which had been ripped open.
ng Chao had used a secret dicine that was rich in flammable oil to cauterize his wound and temporarily seal the broken blood vessels, hanging the Minotaur warrior on the dividing line between life and death.
“What’s the na of that village?”
This was his first question.
This question completely stunned the great buck, who was in so much pain that he wanted to die.
He had already planned to sell all his secrets.
This included the most shaful inside information of the bloody hoof family.
However, he did not expect the black-haired, black-eyed monster to ask an inexplicable question. “Wh-What village?”
“The village that rescued from the tributaries of the Turan River and saved my life.”
ng Chao patiently explained, “The village that was later destroyed by your recruitnt team.”
Big Buck was silent for a while.
Confusion and surprise gradually appeared on the Pale Bull’s face.
As if he couldn’t believe it, ng Chao didn’t hesitate to offend the entire bloody hoof family and took great pains to capture him just for such an insignificant matter.
However, under the stimulation of the secret dicine, the burning pain of the wound continued.
And with every breath he took, it beca more and more unbearable.
In order to get rid of the endless nightmare-like torture as soon as possible, he could only tell the truth, “Bright Shell Village, it’s called Bright Shell Village.”
“Bright Shell Village...”
ng Chao was imrsed in his mories and muttered, “That’s right. I rember that in that village, every family lived along the river. The villagers loved to plunder colorful snails from the river. After eating the flesh of the snails, they would string them up and make them into translucent wind chis to hang on the headboard or the door fra.
“When I was struggling at the edge of the Dark Abyss and the fire of my soul was about to be extinguished at any ti, I heard the clanging of the wind chis and the clear and lodious laughter of the children. The children in the village loved to play around the wind chis or puff up their cheeks and blow hard, making the wind chis spin faster and faster. All the colorful snails would fly up.
“It was the careful care of the villagers and the laughter of the children that pulled back from the brink of death. Otherwise, I would have turned into the bottom of the Turan River, a skeleton that had been gnawed away by fish and shrimp.
“That was a group of very kind villagers.
“It was also a very beautiful, very peaceful small village.
“You really shouldn’t have destroyed that place, Mr. Big Buck.
“When you were burning, killing, looting, wantonly destroying, and enslaving Bright Shell Village, I had just struggled from the brink of death. I was still half-dead and couldn’t even lift a finger. I had no way to stop you beasts. I could only rember the looks of you animals, especially you. There were two horns on your head, one big and one small. I rember telling you at that ti...”
ng Chao coldly said five words to Big Buck.
Big Buck then rembered that when they destroyed Bright Shell Village and dragged the black-haired, black-eyed monster back to Black-corner City, the monster had slightly opened its swollen eyes and said the sa words to him.
At that ti, Big Buck thought that the monster was just moaning in pain.
But if he knew the language of Earth, then he would know that ng Chao said to him:
“You will regret it.”
Big Buck beca more and more confused and scared.
He really wanted to shout at the top of his voice, “Are you crazy? That is just a group of rat people, a group of low and weak rat people! Is it worth provoking the most powerful Blood Hoof Clan, or even the entire blood hoof family, for the sake of a group of low people?”
However, ng Chao’s eyes, which were as deep as ice, completely absorbed, froze, and shattered his shouts.
“Where are the villagers?”
ng Chao continued to ask, “Many of the villagers who saved my life were captured by you. Where did they go?”
“In Black-corner City.”
Big Buck hurriedly said, “A small portion stayed in the blood-skull arena as servants, while the majority were sent to various parts of Black-corner City as slave labor.”
ng Chao nodded thoughtfully. “Where are the children? Have you killed all of them?”
“No, no, we didn’t kill the children!”
As if sensing the apocalyptic aura that was even more terrifying than death emanating from ng Chao’s body, Big Buck was scared out of his wits. He said repeatedly, “We didn’t kill the children. We brought them back to Black-corner City together. Believe , we didn’t kill the children. You should have seen it. You should have seen a lot of children running with the recruitnt team!”
ng Chao recalled carefully. When he was hanging in the fishing net and half-asleep, he seed to have seen a lot of rat children stumbling and following the recruitnt team under the threat of the oxtail whip and the thorny spear.
“Why?”
ng Chao asked, “When you carried out the recruitnt mission in many remote mountain villages, you only took the young and strong, killed all the old, weak, won, and children, or left them to fend for themselves in the devastated ruins.
“Why did you take all the children with you when you arrived at Bright Shell Village? What’s the use of children? They can’t fight, so wouldn’t they waste a lot of precious food?”
“It’s useful. The children of the rat people are also very useful.”
Big Buck stamred and explained, “The remote mountain village is too far from Black-corner City. If we recruited all the people here, we would waste too much food along the way. It’s indeed not worth it.
“However, Bright Shell Village is not far from Black-corner City. Moreover, if we follow the Turan River, the road will be flat and there is no need to climb over mountains. Sotis, we can even take a wooden raft. The cost of transporting a servant or slave is not very high, so we can capture more people.
“If we capture an adult, we can be a servant or slave. If we capture a child, we can be garbage worms!”
“Garbage worms?”
ng Chao asked, “What’s that?”
“It’s a slave that cleans the septic tanks and sewage pipes in Black-corner City.”
Big Buck said, “As you know, high-level orcs eat a lot and poop a lot. Recently, more than ten tis the population of Black-corner City flooded in. However, our sewers were built by our ancestors thousands of years ago. Many places have fallen into disrepair and collapsed again.
“If we don’t send people to the deepest part of the sewers to clean them up, all kinds of garbage and filth will erupt at any ti!”
ng Chao suddenly realized sothing.
“Because the children of the rats are petite and have soft bones, they are easy to crawl in the narrow and rugged pipes. So, you sent the children to the deepest part of the sewers to carry out such dirty work?”
ng Chao said, “Wait a minute. It’s not just dirty. Won’t a large amount of biogas accumulate in the depths of the sewer, which could suffocate people to death at any ti?”
Big Buck was silent for a long ti before he said aggrievedly, “So, we can only let the rat people be garbage—they are just rat people!”
ng Chao sighed.
“Alright, the young adults and children were caught by you to carry out all kinds of dirty, dangerous, and desperate missions in Black-corner City. What about the rest of the people, the elderly, the sick, and the disabled? All of them were killed by you?”
“No, we really didn’t kill too many people that day. They were just rat people. It was aningless to kill them!”
Big Buck shouted, “We just burned down their houses!”
“That’s another thing that I can’t figure out. Why?”
ng Chao said, “If your purpose is rely to ‘recruit ‘enough slaves and cannon fodder and seize all the mandala fruits, then your purpose has been achieved.
“Why did you set a big fire and burn down the entire village before you left?
“Also, as far as I know, you didn’t just do it in Bright Shell Village. You did it in almost all the rat villages.
“It seems that the commander’s brutality can’t be used to explain it. It seems to be so kind of unified order
“That’s right. That’s right. Actually, I don’t want to burn Bright Shell Village!”
Big Buck nodded hurriedly. “Please believe . I just want to capture those young and strong n. No, I want to recruit them and bring them out of their diocre lives so that they can embark on a glorious path worthy of their ancestors!
“Yes, it was Sir Casanova who ordered us to destroy all the villages on the recruitnt road. Even if I didn’t throw out the first torch, others would have done the sa!”
“The reason,” ng Chao said.
“To recruit more rat people!” Big Buck said quickly.
“Explain,” ng Chao said.
“The recruitnt team has limited manpower. It’s impossible to bring all the rat people in the village to Black-corner City. They can only take the young and strong n who have the strongest combat ability and labor force first. However, the rest of the old, weak, won, and children may be useful if they are picky. Therefore, their houses have to be burned.”
Big Buck explained in detail, “The recruitnt team has collected all the mandala fruits and burned their houses. They have neither food nor a place to live. If they want to survive, they can only migrate to the places where there is food and houses.
“Where is the place with the most food and houses within hundreds of kiloters? Of course, Black-corner City!
“Therefore, with this thod, there is no need for the bullwhip and the thorn gun to threaten them. The pariahs will co to Black-corner City of their own accord!”
ng Chao Thought for a mont.
“It’s unlikely, right?”
He said, “Can the elderly, the weak, the won, and the children, who lack food and clothing, cross the mountains and travel long distances to reach Black-corner City?”
“Of course not all of them can. It would be good if two or three out of ten of them could reach Black-corner City.”
Big Buck said, “However, this is exactly what we need. After all, the past ten years of prosperity have been too long. There have been too many mouse people born.. There are so many that the clan army simply can not bring so many people. Of course, we have to carefully choose who is the most qualified to beco cannon fodder and slaves!”
